Like Obama’s initiative... Hillary, although well intentioned perhaps, stepped onto the national stage with a grand plan to change the healthcare system. Unfortunately, she and many of her team of “experts” had neither expertise nor understanding of how the existing healthcare system worked.

Certainly, parts of the system are dysfunctional. Should the dysfunctional parts be identified and fix? Of course. But, to replace a poorly functioning healthcare-delivery system with socialized medicine, to be managed by a Tsar and a bunch of bureaucrats, sounds irrational.

Further, if it is such a great plan, why then won't Congress and the government agree to adopt the same healthcare plan for themselves? Till they do, they may well serve as an operational definition of hypocrites.
